Captain James Lovell

I filmed and edited an interview of Captain James Lovell from Apollo 8, 13, and the Gemini 12 mission for the Adler Planetarium’s Mission Moon exhibition.

Mission Moon invites you to experience America’s first steps into space through the eyes of NASA’s Captain James A. Lovell Jr. and his family. Captain Lovell’s story is full of twists and turns, setbacks and successes. It’s the story of a national hero, but it’s also the story of a kid from Wisconsin, who loved rockets. It’s the story of a husband and father whose supportive family helped him become extraordinary.
